So I thought The Creator was brilliant. I watched it in the cinema, thoroughly enjoyed it and was gobsmacked when I learned it’s budget was only $79 million. It looks better than some films I’ve seen that cost three times that.

But apparently, while it may make that back, it’s unlikely to even earn $100 million globally.

So the answer to the question of why Hollywood churns out the same shite over and over is that, currently, tragically, that is what the masses want to spend their money on.

And that makes me sad.

    Yay for being a powerful name!

    Also, too add to this, I don’t think big names really have that much of an effect any more. Both “Amsterdam” and “Babylon” were filled with big names, yet neither of them did very well in theaters.

    Maybe the “death of the movie star” is true after all, and I don’t think Hollywood knows how to deal with it.

      Amsterdam was brilliant, I really liked that film.
